Kindle to Calibre troubleshooting
Hello there!
I am trying to add a kindle book to Calibre (for the purposes of converting it to a PDF). I downloaded Calibre (6.9) to my Mac (Ventura 13.0.1), installed it into my Applications folder. When I try to add a new book in Calibre, I get the following message (any help would be greatly appreciated - than you in advance!!) : WARNING: Errors while adding: There were problems adding some files, click "Show details" for more information ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Failed to add the file /Applications/Kindle.app to the book: /Applications/Kindle With error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre/gui2/add.py", line 487, in add_formats File "calibre/db/cache.py", line 1810, in add_format IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/Applications/Kindle.app' |

Hello and welcome to MobileRead!
First, read this about dealing with Kindle books and Calibre: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...61&postcount=1 And if you want to convert Kindle books, you'll need the noDRM plugin for Calibre. You can get it from here: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools |
